  • Patent number: 12582362
    Abstract: A computed tomography device has a gantry having a first gantry part, a second gantry part and a flexible material sheet. The first gantry part has a rotor having a projection data acquisition system and is movably mounted, via a linear guiding arrangement, relative to the second gantry part such that the first gantry part is configured for translational movement relative to the second gantry part. The gantry has a tensioning apparatus for the flexible material sheet. The flexible material sheet has a covering section, wherein the covering section spans between the first gantry part and the second gantry part to cover a region of the gantry.

  • Publication number: 20250331789
    Abstract: An example embodiment relates to a gantry, the gantry comprising a housing section located, in relation to a radial direction perpendicular to a system axis of the gantry, between a lateral region of an area around the gantry and the system axis; an opening extending in a manner along the system axis of the gantry such that an object under examination can be introduced into the opening along the system axis and can be examined in the opening via X-ray radiation; and a warning lamp for warning of the X-ray radiation, the warning lamp extending along a longitudinal axis of the warning lamp, the warning lamp being on the housing section such that the longitudinal axis of the warning lamp is parallel or substantially parallel to the system axis of the gantry and the warning lamp is visible from the lateral region of the area around the gantry.
